Abstract(in English) We demonstrate 75-km single mode fiber transmission of 40-Gbit/s optical 16-level quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) signal generated by a quad-parallel Mach-Zehnder optical modulator (QPMZM) where four Mach-Zehnder structures are embedded in parallel on lithium Niobate substrate monolithically. QPMZM enables us to obtain high bit rate (>40Gbit/s) optical QAM signal, because it is based on coherent superposition of four optical binary phase shift keying signals, high-speed generation of which can be possible by use of conventional electronics. Receiver sensitivity for near forward error correction limit and power penalty due to transmission are experimentally evaluated as 16.3 dB and about 2dB-3dB, respectively.
